"Wait! Please, just wait!"

My lungs burned as my feet pounded against the gravel driveway of the Hawthorne estate.

The cold morning air sliced through my thin coat, but I barely felt it.

All my attention was locked onto the sleek, midnight-black sedan gliding toward the iron gates.

It was Adrian’s car.

He was leaving for the office, and if I didn't catch him now, I would late.

"Adrian! Stop the car!" I screamed, my voice cracking as I pushed my legs to move faster, my breath forming thick w

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Like Your Father

    Liora's Pov "I have heard some things about your activities at the fashion house today, Liora," the patriarch finally whispered, his tone dropping into that low, chillingly calm melodic register that made the hairs on my arms stand up. I stiffened completely against the leather, my fingers trembling against my skirt. "Sir, if you mean the incident in the restroom, it wasn't my fault. The models, they—" "I care nothing for the petty rivalries of my son's employees, nor am I interested in your tears," Mr. Hawthorne interrupted, his voice flat and entirely unyielding as he slowly turned his head to pin me with a cold, predatory glare. He raked his eyes over my new assistant uniform, his lip curling into a subtle, stylishly dismissive sneer that washed me down completely, making me feel smaller than the dirt on the loading dock. "You have caused quite a public nuisance on your very first shift. Firing two leading runway models over a domestic dispute is a reckless, emotional

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Bus Scuffle

    Liora's Pov The crowd at the public transport transit station was a sprawling, chaotic sea of desperate bodies, all fighting over the same patch of broken asphalt as the sun began to dip behind the smoky city skyline. It wasn't the clean, private courtyard shuttle from the estate; this was the cheap, communal industrial shuttle that serviced all the commercial garment warehouses and low-end manufacturing plants on the outer edge of the fashion district. The air was thick with the suffocating stench of exhaust fumes, melting street tar, and the heavy sweat of hundreds of exhausted workers who had spent their day hauling fabric, pulling threads, and scrubbing floors until their limbs felt like lead weights. "Get your elbow out of my ribs before I throw you under the tires!" a woman in a stained warehouse apron shrieked, her voice cutting through the deafening roar of the idling bus engines. "Move your feet, then! Some of us have families to feed tonight!" a man roared back,

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   She Is Mine To Torture

    Liora's Pov Listen to me very carefully, all of you," Adrian announced, his booming voice bouncing off the high ceilings like a final judgment, ensuring every single employee heard the command. "No one in this building is to touch, bully, or disrespect this woman again. Is that entirely clear? Only I have the absolute right to do that. If I catch a single whisper, or if another manager assigns her heavy labor to cause a nuisance, you will be thrown out onto the pavement alongside Vanessa and Chloe. You all may now return to your work." A heavy, terrified murmur rippled through the departments before everyone quickly dropped their heads, desperately pretending to focus on their fabrics. Adrian didn't wait for a response as he carried me directly toward the grand, illuminated central escalator that bypassed the standard employee floors. Stepping onto the moving metal stairs, we began the slow, heavy ascent toward the executive suite. I remained completely still in his ar

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   I Want Them Blacklisted

    Liora's Pov The question slithered through the bleach-scented air of the restroom, instantly killing the echo of Vanessa and Chloe’s cruel laughter. I sat paralyzed on the cold toilet seat, my knees still clutched tightly against my chest, my entire body shivering violently under my soaked gray uniform. Through the wide-open gap of the stall door that Vanessa had violently yanked open, my blurry, tear-stained eyes focused on the towering figure standing in the main doorway. It was Adrian. He stood there in his pristine charcoal-grey tailored suit, his broad shoulders blocking out the bright fluorescent light from the design corridor. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated, lethal stone. He didn't look at the two models; his dark eyes slid past their shivering frames, locking directly onto my drenched gray clothes, the ruined white cap lying in a wet heap near my shoes, and the chemical tears pouring down my burning cheeks. Vanessa’s mouth opened to speak, but only

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   What Right Do You Have

    Liora's Pov I sat exposed, looking entirely small and terrified under their glares. Vanessa and Chloe stood in the threshold, their arms crossed, wide smirks twisting their lips as they looked down at my gray uniform and my shivering frame. "Look at the future Mrs. Hawthorne," Chloe mocked, pointing a finger at my tear-stained face. "On her knees in a bathroom, hiding like a rat. Where is your fierce model posture now, Liora? Why don't you look us in the eye?" Before I could find my voice or draw a deep breath to speak, Vanessa reached behind her back. My eyes widened in absolute horror as I noticed she was holding a heavy plastic janitorial bucket—one that had been left in the corner by the cleaning staff, filled to the brim with dirty, grey mop water, chemical suds, and floating debris from the design floor. "Let’s help the new mistress clean up her act," Vanessa sneered, her face contorting with a sudden surge of venomous malice. "No! Please, stop—" I cried out, my ha

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Come Out Now

    Liora's Pov The fifth-floor office restroom smelled heavily of bleach and expensive lavender soap, a stark contrast to the thick, toxic dread pooling in my stomach. I sat curled up on the cold toilet seat, my knees pulled up tightly to my chest under my gray uniform skirt, desperately trying to map the sounds of the bustling design floor outside the door. My morning sickness had returned with a vengeance the second I stepped out of Adrian’s luxury sedan, and I had barely managed to sprint into the nearest empty stall before my vision went entirely blurry. The porcelain bowl beneath me was a blur, but the physical fatigue of the early pregnancy was settling deep into my bones, leaving my limbs feeling like lead weights I squeezed my eyes shut, my forehead resting against the cold metal partition of the stall, praying for just five minutes of absolute silence before I had to face Miss Vance and her back-breaking files again. Suddenly, the heavy glass main door to the restroom
